Happy New Year all!

My current projects include:

A - Vintage (by my definition) stuff running in virtual machines.
Eventually I would like to get all of the major network operating
systems (OS/2 LAN Server/Manager, Netware, Vines, and DECnet) running in
VMs and on period hardware (thanks to Jeff Jonas for all those EISA
cards and the Arcnet stuff).

I have much of the hardware and software to keep these projects going
but there are some needed items... like two or three EISA systems (bare
motherboards or complete systems) with processors and RAM. Any OS/2
documentation or installation media for non-IBM versions of OS/2 and
other LAN systems - especially Banyan VINES.

Some LAN cabling would be a great help - like a few yards of thick
Ethernet coax along with taps and terminations would be fabulous.

I had a Macintosh in College so I got the after dark series, then the more
after dark series. I'm not sure but one of them was Bill Gates does windows. The
screen saver had Bill Gates "cleaning" windows on your monitor and he would
adjust his glasses a lot. Not sure if this was a standard screen saver or one
that someone created. I loved the screen saver games. I can't remember the name
of it, but it was a lot of fun. I will have to fire up my Macintoshes some day
and see if I still have it.

I gave a friend the inflated winged flying
toaster promo item, and Istill have floppies with screen saver
"entertainment" I actuallyBOUGHT when Egghead had stores: Pink Panther,
Lion King, Energizer Bunny.
